Yoshkar-Ola ambulance paramedics fought in court for the right to additional payments and a week's shortening The Supreme Court of the Republic of Mary El annulled the results of a special assessment of the working conditions of Yoshkar-Ola ambulance station employees. The jury fully accepted the claim of the medical workers against the institution's management, as reported by the interregional trade union of health workers "Action". The reason for the procedure was the assignment of hazard level 3.2 to mobile teams, which denied the paramedics the right to a salary increase and a 36-hour work week. The state inspection appointed as part of the appeal confirmed that the administration conducted a special assessment contrary to the law, and the status of actual working conditions for doctors should be higher. The long trial took place with the legal support of the organizing secretary of the trade union Action, Alexander Zolotrev, and the secretary of the Republican Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Sergei Tsargorodtsev, who represented the interests of paramedics Irina Ivanova and Ekaterina Mikhayeva. In the past, the court in the city of Yoshkar-Ola refused to respond to the workers' demands without conducting a mandatory inspection. However, the position of the Sixth Court regarding a similar claim by the drivers of the same station created a precedent and forced the appellate court to carefully consider the case and restore the doctors' work rights.
